Released Nmap 4.85BETA9

Hello everyone! I'm pleased to announce the first Nmap release in a while which has NOTHING to do with Conficker :). Nmap 4.85BETA9brings you a bunch of other great stuff instead. This includes a big OS fingerprint submission run, a bunch of work to make Ncat SSL support more functional and secure, boolean arguments and wildcards for scripts so you can now request stuff like "--script '(default or safe or intrusive) and not http-*'", Ncat HTTP proxy support on Windows, Zenmap UI improvements, and much more! We also fixed some embarrassing bugs from the last release, such as the non-existent smb-check-vulns-2.nse appearing in script.db and a number of discovered crashes. Not bad for a few weeks' work :).
